Disaster Bioethics Symposium 2011

On April 3-5, 2011, a symposium on Disaster Bioethics was held at the Brocher Foundation near Geneva, Switzerland. This Symposium brought together a distinguished group of international experts to examine bioethics in the context of disasters. One of the aims of the Symposium was to produce resources which would help to stimulate and promote further discussion of disaster bioethics. The original presentation slides are provided below, and the materials were developed into an edited book: Dónal P. O’Mathúna, Bert Gordijn, & Mike Clarke (eds.). Disaster Bioethics: Normative Issues When Nothing is Normal. Dordrecht: Springer, 2014.

The presentations are listed in the order in which they were given. Clicking on the title will lead to a pdf of the PowerPoint slides. Note: some files are very large. Audio files of the presentations will be available here in the near future. The original programme for the symposium is available here.
